[poem] Beautiful Me

This poem was written for my children. I would love to have this published one day, but that's not easy....oh well. They love it and I hope you enjoy it too.

Beautiful Me

My skin is different of that I'm sureIt does not look the same as yoursMy eyes are dark like the starry nightWhile yours are pale like a pool of lightI told my mother my wish one nightI wished my skin was nice and lightShe smiled and said, Now that won't do,For how would the world look without you?We are all different in our own special wayBringing to this world something new every dayThink of the rainbow high in the skyA beautiful sight, can you tell me why?Yes! it's the colors that make it so grandColors like you, do you understand?The world wouldn't be such a wonderful placeIf everyone had the same sort of faceSo think of what I've said to youAnd know that you are beautiful tooThen mommy gave me a kiss goodnightAnd quietly turned off the bedroom lightI curled up real tight all snug in my bedAnd thought about what my mommy had saidThe world is a colorful place indeedWith all kinds of people like you and meAnd with a smile on my face I finally see.....Beautiful me.......Beautiful me.

Challenge Day 21

This poem is a one in a series of poems for the month of April. I am currently involved in two writing challenges, and like a fool or a genius, you decide....... I combined the two challenges. I am attempting to write a poem a day ~ with the corresponding letter of the day. On Sunday, however, I do not need to comply with the A to Z rule and I'm free to write my poem without restrictions. I've now past the halfway point, but it's definitely getting harder and harder.

1. A to Z Challenge: Blog each day with the corresponding letter of the day, except on Sunday

Me & Cary
